Program Learning Objective: I can be mindful and illustrate what is happening in the present using my five senses. I can explain and illustrate the present moment using lines and color. Students will write two sentences describing their composition and their mood at the present moment.
Program Description (Grade Level Program): Students will be introduced to mindfulness through the children"s book, "Here and Now," by Julia Denos, and Illustrated by E.B. Goodale. The students will understand how focusing on the present moment using their five senses can create calmness and celebrate the world around us. Students will think of one present moment they will illustrate using paint sticks and crayons. Students will create a composition using color to express a mood. The program will differ across grade levels by the detail and expressive qualities of line and color. All lessons will be adjusted based on grade level.
